He attempted to kill Piccolo, and then use the Dragon Balls.[[note]]If Piccolo dies, so does Kami, and the Dragon with them.[[/note]] When this is pointed out, Garlic Jr. acknowledges that he dodged a bullet thanks to the incompetence of his minions.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Generally averted, but in the Dead Zone abridged movie (made before the official formation of Team [=FourStar=]), Gohan was portrayed as mentally handicapped ("I know how many fingers fish have!"). In the regular series, he's probably the most intelligent character of the bunch.
** In the pre-TFS abridged movies, most notably The World's Strongest, Goku was portrayed with as a {{Trickster}}, being able to outwit his opponents. He was also portrayed as mean-spirited, especially towards Krillin, and swore often. These traits carried over into the first two DBZ Abridged episodes, after which Abridged Goku became the [[DeliciousDistraction food-obsessed]] IdiotHero that is TooDumbToLive, but we all know now.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:D]]
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Nail informs Piccolo that he knows a dangerous technique, forbidden to ever be used.
-->'''Piccolo:''' And we're just going to abuse it?\\
'''Nail:''' Oh, ''maliciously''.\\
'''Piccolo:''' Bitchin'! What we do?
* DarkerAndEdgier: Season 2 compared to Season 1, owing to the source material.
* DaydreamSurprise: Used to cut out some filler; after being crushed by Vegeta, Goku merely ''imagines'' that he's still able to move.
* DeadpanSnarker: Vegeta when he's not [[{{Angrish}} too pissed to form coherent sentences]].
** Piccolo. All the time.
** Dende as well.
* DeathByAdaptation:
** [[spoiler:Ginyu. Vegeta was about to let Ginyu go, seeing as he already killed seven of Freeza's elite warriors.]]
--->'''Vegeta:''' [[spoiler: Psyche! Eight for eight! *SQUISH*]]
** Remember that planet with the cute critters Goku used to gather energy for his spirit bomb? He later deflects one of Freeza's attacks into that planet.
** Likely also the Namekian child who gets squished by one of the now-inactive Namekian dragon balls in part 2 of episode 30... right after Guru states the same child is the only Namekian he actually cares about...
---> '''Guru:''' Ha!
* DeathIsCheap:
** Lampshaded and discussed in episode 30:
--->'''Yamcha:''' You make it sound like death has no consequence!\\
'''Tien:''' It really doesn't. We're literally waiting to go back. Hell, this is Chaozu's second time.\\
'''Chaozu:''' Next time, I get a free sundae!
** In episode 34, Trunks points out that, had he not killed Freeza, all of Goku's friends would have been killed.
--->'''Goku:''' The dragon wouldn't be happy 'bout that one!
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: The use of this trope in ''Manga/DragonBall'' itself is lampshaded.
-->''(Vegeta hits the ground, large explosion. Later, he crawls out.)''\\
'''Vegeta:''' (gasping) Why did I explode?
* DelegationRelay: Freeza tells Zarbon to give the command. Zarbon tells Dodoria to give the command. Dodoria gives the command to nameless mooks. Nameless mooks follow said command and die like flies as the above three stand around looking bored.
** Plus the dragon balls being used for the [[UnspokenPlanGuarantee Unspoken Plan]] from King Kai.
--->'''Shenron:''' How can I be of service, Lord Popo?
--->'''Popo:''' Good question. Kami, the f**k am I doing?
--->'''Kami:''' Good question. King Kai, the f**k is he doing?
* DeliciousDistraction:
** Goku has this in ''spades''. Anytime anything with reference to any food is mentioned around Goku, he plays this trope straight. He does it when his ribs are being crushed by his brother...
--->'''Raditz:''' ''(stomps on Goku's ribs)'' STOP IGNORING ME!\\
'''Goku:''' AH! MY RIBS! I THINK YOU BROKE MY- Mmmm… Ribs…
** And ''twice'' while fighting Vegeta, enough to get the latter enraged enough to destroy Earth.
** In episode 4, during the ShoutOut to PacMan, Goku stops in the maze to eat a steak just laying there, while being chased by Princess Snake's head.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: Goku ''thinks'' this is the case with Vegeta. [[SubvertedTrope In reality, not so much.]]
-->'''Goku:''' We're friends now, right?
-->'''Vegeta:''' Fuck off.
-->'''Goku:''' ''The best!''
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Piccolo: "And now to redeem myself, through one final act of redemption!"
** Krillin: "On the plus side, I no longer have to pee anymore."
* DespairEventHorizon: Vegeta, upon realizing Goku is the last remaining Saiyen. His eyes say it all.
* DescriptionCut: When Goku wonders where Bulma is in episode 22, Krillin assumes she's doing "something girly". Cut to her fighting a GiantEnemyCrab underwater in a MiniMecha.
** In episode 15, when Zarbon and Freeza's discussion of Dodoria's abilities are inter-cut with him failing at every instance.
* DestructoNookie: Vegeta and Bulma in episode 34.
* DeusExMachina: Pulled off with Yajirobe in episode 10, if only because he hadn't even been mentioned at all in the AbridgedSeries up until [[spoiler:he cut off [[EverythingIsBetterWithMonkeys Oozaru Vegeta's]] tail.]]
** Then there's this exchange:
--->'''Goku:''' I brought some senzu beans.\\
'''Krillin:''' Whoo-hoo! [[{{Pun}} Legume Ex Machina!]]
** The fact that the [[spoiler: Muffin Button]] saves Goku's life when Namek explodes.
* DiagonalCut: Trunks lampshades this when he explains that he spent a month practicing the move so the bodies would fall just right.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Freeza calls God a jackass after He tries and fails to strike him down.
* DieOrFly: [[AvertedTrope Completely Averted]]. When Gohan is thrown towards the cliff, he flies face first into it, complete with whining.
* DirtyOldMan: As of Episode 28, it would appear King Yemma has gotten bored, and is forcing the dead to strip down naked when he judges them. That's why Vegeta comes to Goku naked in a near-death experience.
-->'''Vegeta:''' Idiot, you don't take your clothes with you when you die.\\
'''Goku:''' Well, I did.\\
'''Vegeta:''' What?\\
'''Goku:''' Yeah. Even had my weighted clothes on, too. And I didn't even die in those. Hmmm...\\
'''Vegeta:''' THAT LYING RED MOTHERF*CKER!!!
* DisappearedDad: As the series has progressed, Gohan is displaying increasing anger and disgust with his generally ineffective and absent father. It becomes an asset after [[spoiler: Captain Ginyu steals Goku's body, and Gohan launches into a violent rage while shouting all the things that Goku has subjected him to.]]
* DiscontinuityNod: Done by Guru as he reads the disclaimer for Episode 24. He sounds audibly surprised that ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' is included on the list of Creator/AkiraToriyama's ''Franchise/DragonBall''-related intellectual property.
* DisproportionateRetribution: "Hello, and welcome to the Heavenly Check-In Station. Please no cutting in line. If you are caught cutting in line, you ''will'' be sent straight to hell." Of course, cutting in line in front of the gate of heaven before your soul is judged really isn't a very smart move.
** This exchange from episode 25:
--->'''Dende:''' (''To Freeza'') They're from Earth.\\
'''Krillin:''' Little Green, ''why??''\\
'''Dende:''' Because my name is Dende.
* DistantReactionShot: In episode 18, when Vegeta discovers that Gohan swiped his stashed Dragon Ball, [[SerialEscalation we get a string of these]] showing that Vegeta's yell is audible across Namek, in Goku's spaceship (still in space), in Yemma's house in the afterlife (he assumes it's his wife), and ''Earth 20 years in the future'' ("Daddy?").
** Another one when Krillin [[ItMakesSenseinContext gets barfed on by Freeza in 28.]]
* DistractedByTheSexy: Bulma upon seeing Zarbon. Until she sees him transform...
** When Freeza gets a closeup look at Goku's abs, his first response is, "Oh my god, you could grind meat on it."
* DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm: Goku and Zarbon.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: ... let's just say this crops up a lot around Zarbon.
--> '''Vegeta:''' [[DoubleEntendre Face down with another man beating your ass.]] Is it Wednesday already, Zarbon?
** In episode 32, Krillin explains to Gohan why he's so certain that Freeza is on his way to Earth.
---> '''Krillin:''' Gohan, when you've had a man inside of you, you know when he's coming.
* DontExplainTheJoke: Subverted at one point. When Pavlov's effect is mentioned, the [[PaintingTheMedium TV actuality switches to a report explaining its origin]].
** Played straight a couple episodes later:
--->'''Vegeta:''' Now it's time to reveal my giant monkey... ''[camera over his crotch]''\\
'''Crowd:''' ''[collective gasp]''\\
'''Vegeta:''' ...form. ''[camera pans to his face]''\\
'''Crowd:''' ''[sighs of relief]''\\
'''Man in Crowd:''' Thank God, I thought he meant penis!
* DoNotCallMePaul: When Vegeta mentions Goku's birth name, Kakarot, to Captain Ginyu (while the latter is broken and beaten on the ground in Goku's body), this discussion occurs...
-->'''Vegeta:''' Hahaha! The best part about this? I get to kill both Ginyu ''and'' Kakarot at the same time!\\
'''Goku!Ginyu:''' Wait, who's Kakarot?\\
'''Vegeta:''' You're Kakarot.\\
'''Goku!Ginyu:''' I thought his name was Goku.\\
'''Krillin:''': His name ''is'' Goku!\\
'''Vegeta:''' No, it's Kakarot!\\
'''Goku!Ginyu:''' But he just said "Goku".\\
'''Krillin:''': Yeah, I did!\\
'''Vegeta:''' ''I know what he said!'' Bu-\\
'''Goku!Ginyu:''' So what is it? Kakarot, or Goku?\\
'''Krillin/Vegeta:''' It's Goku/Kakarot!\\
'''Vegeta:''' NO, NO, NO! Just... Look. His Saiyan name is Kakarot, but he changed it when he landed on Earth as a baby, so they kept calling him by his Earth name, and I am calling him by his real name.\\
[[{{Beat}} *Beat*]]\\
'''Ginyu!Goku:''' [[IdiotHero So does that make]] ''[[IdiotHero me]]'' [[IdiotHero Ginyu?]]\\
'''Vegeta:''' [[{{Angrish}} *Screams at the top of his lungs while he flies towards Ginyu*]]
* DoubleEntendre: Zarbon practically lives off of these.
** Vegeta likes to invoke this trope to mock Zarbon.
--->'''Vegeta:''' Now let me put this in a way you'll understand: I'm about to blow my load all over your insides...
--->'''Zarbon:''' What... the...
--->'''Vegeta:''' ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice No homo]].''
** Zarbon's association with this trope is even well known to Freeza.
--->'''Goku:''' (screaming due to his burning posterior) My butt is flaming!!
--->'''Freeza:''' ...I miss Zarbon.
** A whole slew of these were thrown in episode 24 when Goku was explaining his situation to King Kai after he landed on Namek.
--->'''Goku:''' Well, when I got down here, I ran into some really weird guys. One was really big and muscly, but he went down really easy. Then these two guys double-teamed me. One of them took it really hard in the back, but the other didn't seem that interested, so he went and brought this really horny guy.
--->[['''GeorgeTakei:''']] Oh, my.
** Lord Slug drops one of these as well.
---> "This is amazing! I feel like a young, strapping lad, beating his meat furiously for the first time!"
** Krillin gets a lot of these from 31 on, such as Gohan and his mother's tuna.
* DreamTeam: Voice, editing, and writing by some of the best abridgers out there.
** {{LittleKuriboh}} as the Narrator and Freeza.
** Takahata101
** [[AvatarTheAbridgedSeries GanXingba]]
** [=hbi2k=]

* DrivenToSuicide: An army of mooks in episode 12.
** [[spoiler: Yamcha in the BadFuture Trunks is from.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:E]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: Vegeta and Nappa in episode 1, Guru and Nail in episode 5, Trunks in episode 18, and Cooler and an infant Broly in ''Bardock Abridged''.
** The mentions of Bojack are a partial example since we're told he's there and we hear his voice a couple times, but we won't see him until they abridge his movie (if they do so).
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Generally averted, but in the Dead Zone abridged movie (made before the official formation of Team [=FourStar=]), Gohan was portrayed as mentally handicapped ("I know how many fingers fish have!"). In the regular series, he's probably the most intelligent character of the bunch.
** In the pre-TFS abridged movies, most notably The World's Strongest, Goku was portrayed with as a {{Trickster}}, being able to outwit his opponents. He was also portrayed as mean-spirited, especially towards Krillin, and swore often. These traits carried over into the first two DBZ Abridged episodes, after which Abridged Goku became the [[DeliciousDistraction food-obsessed]] IdiotHero that is TooDumbToLive, but we all know now.
* EccentricMentor: Guru. "I'm about to misuse my hand upside your head!"
* EliteMooks: The Arlian elite guards [[CurbStompBattle get wiped out in a second]].
* EpilepticFlashingLights: Jeice and Burter's combo attack "SEIZURE PROCEDURE!" It gives Krillin unlucky number 13 on his Owned Count.
* EspeciallyZoidberg: When Goku finds his allies dead.
-->'''Goku:''' Hey guys, what'd I miss? Oh... are they all? Tenshinhan... Piccolo... Yamcha... Oh wow, especially Yamcha.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Mr. Popo does not torture... ''cats...''
** Killing and maiming is one thing, but [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=aossw4UUjVA#t=361s televising it]] for the enjoyment of others? Even Vegeta finds that tasteless.
--->'''Vegeta:''' And-is that a camera? What kind of sadistic retard watches this crap?!?
--->'''Freeza:''' [watching this on his TV] Love this show.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo have one after Goku's BondOneLiner, then subverted when Freeza reveals the Spirit Bomb didn't kill him.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Princess Snake, who's voiced as though she were [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]].
* EvilBrit: Freeza, Cooler, and Android 20.
* EvilCounterpart: Inverted with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76r7fjarhiQ Blue Popo]], who is the good counterpart to Mr. Popo. Things don't end well for him.
-->'''Mr. Popo:''' Prepare to be assimilated.
* EvilLaugh: Mr. Popo. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dAUYAg8mAQ Prepare for restless sleep tonight, kids!]]
** Piccolo really gets into it as well in the first two episodes.
* EvilTwin: In the end of the Lord Slug movie special, Slug is implied to be this to Guru. [[spoiler: It's the other way around.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep[=/=]CreepyMonotone: Freeza in Episode 24.
-->'''Freeza:''' Oh no, don't mind me. By all means...(voice drops two octaves) '''Give me some ideas.'''
* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt:
** Goku spends several seconds arguing with Freeza about having missed until Freeza just decides to let the eventual volcanic eruption speak for itself.
** In ''Revenge of Cooler'', Piccolo fires a blast at Neiz, who dodges it by retracting his head. Sauza immediately points out that it was aimed at Doore, who gets vaporized.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Space Australia.
-->'''Krillin:''' So it's like Australia...\\
'''Jeice:''' ...[[SpaceX In space]].
* ExecutiveMeddling: It has the power to turn Bardock into a Super Saiyan apparently.
--> '''Bardock:''' OF ALL THE STUPID... ASININE... [[JumpingTheShark SHARK-JUMPING]] BULLSHIT!!!
* ExternalRetcon: Episode 6 hangs a lampshade on King Kai's explanation for Planet Vegeta's destruction, [[AdaptationInducedPlothole which is completely at odds with series canon]]. Turns out that Freeza's a WikiVandal:
--> "''[[RocksFallEveryoneDies Stupid monkeys hit by falling rocks]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial (not deathball thrown by Freeza)]]. Hahahahahahaha! P.S. Freeza rules you.''"
* ExtremeMeleeRevenge: Goku incapacitates Nappa in less than ten seconds, and proceeds to break his arm and throw him across the field.
-->'''Nappa:''' Not that way. My arm doesn't bend that way! *crack* AWW, NOW IT DOES!
* EyeScream: Vegeta's at the receiving end of [[RuleOfThree three of these]] in the Season 1 finale.
-->'''Vegeta:''' GAH! MY eye! Why is it always the goddamn eye!?
** Made into somewhat of a [[BrickJoke Brick Joke]] in episode 18. When Vegeta pops a blood vessel in his eye, it pops in his right eye. The same eye that was both elbowed by Gohan and blasted by Goku in the aforementioned episode.
** Again in ''Lord Slug Abriged'' when Gohan defeats a mook by shattering the glass visor of his helmet.
--->'''Mook:''' OH GOD ALL I CAN SEE IS GLASS AND BLOOD!
[[/folder]]

[[folder:F]]
* FakeOutOpening: [[spoiler:Episode 31's opening credits show scenes from the filler Garlic Jr. saga, making you think the entire arc will be adapted. Mr. Popo however resolves the plot rather quickly.]]
* FakeStatic: Goku somehow manages to trick King Kai into thinking he hung up... during a telepathic conversation. This is immediately lampshaded by King Kai himself:
-->'''King Kai:''' He hung up on me! How the hell did he even do that?!
* FalseReassurance: To reassure Krillin he won't retaliate for wounding him for Zenkai power boost, Vegeta tells him, "I will not PUNCH you".
** And when Krillin does shoot him, Vegeta mutters, "You are so punched!"
* FamousLastWords
-->'''Jeice:''' (right before getting blasted to Kingdom Come by Vegeta) Clever girl.
-->'''Vegeta:''' (episode 28) Because, Kakarot, you are our race's last hope. [[LastOfHisKind You...are the last remaining Saiyan]]. [[OhCrap Oh God, you're the last remaining Saiyan!]]
* FantasticRacism: Complete with Fantastic Genocide. The Namekians keep referring to a race of Albino Namekians that were "purged" and that they all view as hideous.
* FauxActionGirl: Chi-Chi gets to beat up one {{Mook}} during the Lord Slug movie with the "[[CallingYourAttacks Housewife Style! Kick of a thousand menstrual cycles]]"
-->'''Chi-Chi:''' See? Just because I'm a woman... ''[gets instantly knocked out by another henchman]''\\
'''Bulma:''' [[LampshadeHanging That actually lasted longer than I expected.]]
* FeelNoPain: Krillin receives a kick from Recoome that throws his nervous system out of whack and leaves him unable to feel the pain from the kick...for a few seconds.
* [[FemaleMonsterSurprise Female Alien Surprise]]: The most accurate description we've got for [[spoiler: Dodoria being female.]]
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Done at least twice:
-->'''Vegeta:''' All I have to do now is stay under the radar and not fly around like a jackass saying...\\
'''Krillin:''' I've got a dragonball!\\
'''Vegeta:''' I was gonna say, "come and get me Freeza", but that works too.
** Not long after that:
--->'''Zarbon:''' Maybe Lord Freeza won't find me if I just stay low and don't fly around like a jackass saying...\\
'''Vegeta:''' Come to papa, you bald bastard!\\
'''Zarbon:''' [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike I was going to say, "come and get me Freeza", but that works too!]]
** Played with a few moments later:
--->'''Bulma:''' Oh my god, [Zarbon's] so hot! I just want to grab him and...\\
'''Goku:''' (doing training) ...sixty-nine, seventy, seventy-...\\
'''Vegeta:''' ...One time you defeated me, Zarbon, and that's one time too many!
* FlameWar: For quite a popular series, these are prevalent in the forums and on Youtube. Also mentioned in the FAQ Specials.
** In the TFS FAQ Special, Vegeta says that somebody who asks who to voice for will be flamed. Along with that, in the 2nd TFS FAQ Special, Chaotzu insults people who want to audition, saying that "they have no talent" and that "they suck".
** NEVER... EVER... ''EVER''... speculate about a future appearance of [[spoiler:Ghost Nappa]].
** There are also debates of how Guru is either a great and hilarious character or a horrible and predictable character.
** Nappa himself. Some people just plain hated him.
** Surprisingly, Popo hasn't received any negative criticism... yet.
*** They just know better.
*** [[spoiler:_O O_]]
* FlatWhat: This exchange:
-->'''Vegeta:''' Look at you, Dodoria, you're always so damn proud. And now here you are, crying like a woman!\\
'''Dodoria:''' [[spoiler: I AM A WOMAN!]]\\
'''Vegeta:''' What.
** Also this:
--->'''Nappa:''' Good effort, [[ItMakesSenseInContext but I'm the Patty Cake Champion]]!\\
'''Piccolo:''' [{{beat}}] What.
** After Piccolo's death.
--->'''Gohan:''' '''[[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness I'm going to eviscerate you and use your gushing intestinal tract as a condom while I fornicate with your skull!]]'''
--->'''Nappa:''' [[DumbMuscle What.]]
--->'''Gohan:''' '''I'm gonna skull-f''[[SoundEffectBleep *beep*]]'' you!
** Two in rapid succession in episode 16:
--->'''Yamcha:''' [[AccidentalInnuendo But I waxed off everything. I waxed off your car, I waxed off your house, I even waxed]] [[NoodleImplements off your monkey]].[[invoked]]\\
'''Piccolo:''' Okay, I just started paying attention. What.\\
'''Yamcha:''' Seriously, when are we going to learn the [[NoPronunciationGuide Kay-o-Ken]]?\\
'''King Kai:''' What.
** In episode 24, after Freeza delivers an OffhandBackhand to Nail:
--->'''Freeza:''' I've had a ''worse'' time, you know. It's not often I dirty my hands with this sort of grunt work. There's always a certain amount of satisfaction I get out of doing it myself.\\
''[Freeza begins laughing - and after a few seconds so does Nail]''\\
'''Freeza:''' Ah... it ''is'' kind of funny, isn't it?\\
'''Nail:''' ''[still laughing]'' I'm laughing at something else, actually.\\
'''Freeza:''' ''[still laughing]'' What?\\
'''Nail:''' ''[still laughing]'' The Earthlings have the password.\\
''[{{Beat}}]''\\
'''Freeza:''' [[AC: What.]]
** And this exchange:
--->'''Zarbon:''' Too bad... and that Bardock was ''such'' a ''dashing rogue''...\\
''[{{Beat}}]''\\
'''Dodoria:''' ...What.
* {{Foil}}: [[IdiotHero Goku]] is the ''perfect'' counterpart to [[MagnificentBastard Freeza]]. Not only do Freeza's attempts at intimidating Goku fall flat, but Goku is literally ''too dumb to insult''.
* FoodAsBribe: Freeza offers to give Goku a pizza if Goku will let Freeza power up to 100%. Goku's having none of it. Then Freeza offers two pizzas. Goku still isn't interested, and charges at Freeza. [[FunnyMoments Then Freeza offers two pizzas with stuffed crust]]...
* ForeignCussWord: In Episode 27, the Jamaican crab describes Freeza as a "bumbaclot," a corruption of the word "blood clot" considered an extreme form of insult in Jamaica.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the Namek saga, anyone who recites the opening disclaimer will die in one to two episodes (Except Vegeta, who recited two separate disclaimers before dying. Because he's that awesome.)
** There's also Popo at the start of that same saga.
--->'''Mr. Popo:''' "See you all when you get back! Except... this season... ''(looks to Krillin)'' you..."
** Spoofed in episode 7, after Nappa forgot why he and Vegeta came to Earth, Vegeta says, "One of these days you're going to die. Then you'll be out of my hair forever." This is followed by the caption '''Epic Foreshadowing'''.
** A subtle one in episode 22:
---> '''Freeza:''' "I'll dispatch of this worm and then I'll be back for you, Slug!"
---> '''Super Kami Guru:''' "Leave my brother out of this!"
** And another one right at the beginning of episode 30 (part one)
---> '''King Kai:''' At last, Goku... has become... the ONE...and ONLY... SUPER SAIYAN! [[{{Beat}} *pause*]] Right?
---> '''Narrator:''' [[TheChosenMany Ummm...yeeaaaah]].
---> '''King Kai:''' You hesitated there for a second. *{{Beat}}* What?
** After being hit with his own attack:
---> '''Freeza''' "Daddy, I don't want to be on Namek anymore.''
** Trunks asks why Freeza has spare parts sticking out of him. Freeza says he's the ultimate union of science and nature, but Trunks is obviously unimpressed.
---> '''Freeza''' "Impudent little...! These are not "spare parts"! What you are looking at is the ultimate culmination of science and nature!!''
---> '''Trunks''' "Oh, wow! I've... never seen that before."
** At the beginning of the "Episode of Bardock" special, Bardock says a certain character's catchphrase.
---> '''Bardock''': [[spoiler: Aw, crapbaskests.]]
* ForgotICouldFly: PlayedForLaughs literally when Goku jumped out of a hospital in Episode 13 hoping to be caught by Nimbus. He could've just flown out of the hospital room.
** Nappa forgets he could fly... while he was flying.
* ForgottenPhlebotinum: Gohan wonders why Krillin never follows up his Solar Flare (which blinds and incapacitates stronger enemies for a while) with his Destructo Disk (which is slow but can cut even much stronger opponents).
* FreezeFrameBonus: There is one in episode 15. [[BrickJoke Try to]] [[ShmuckBait find it.]] [[color:white: (It's at 2:27.)]]
** [[BilingualBonus CALISSE D'OSTIE DE TABARNAC]], [[BrainBleach MY EYES!]]
*** Happens again in episode 25. This time an [[NauseaFuel even more disturbing image]]
** In Episode 7, when Piccolo says that the Saiyans are seeking to find the one with the strongest power level. After Gohan claims that Piccolo is the strongest, someone else is seen laughing in the background standing on top of a mountain. Can you find it? [[spoiler: (It's at 1:57)]]
*** That someone I think is [[spoiler: Mr. Popo]]
* FreudianExcuse: Turles hates Christmas because Santa Claus never visited Planet Vegeta, and they only got Freeza's Day (when he blew up the planet). [[spoiler: It's actually revealed that Santa tried to visit the planet several times, but they always tried to blow up his sled.]]
** Subverted when Vegeta tells about how he's always lived under Freeza's rule and has lost his entire race. Goku thinks that means that without Freeza he wouldn't have been evil.
--->'''Vegeta:''' Oh no, I'd ''definitely'' [[CardCarryingVillain still be evil.]] If this situation was reversed, this conversation would never have happened. You'd be dead, [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing and I'd be laughing.]] Ha ha, ouch [[RunningGag it hurts to laugh.]]
* FreudianSlip: Krillin does this with Bulma by calling her "Boobs" in the first episode. Also a reference to NarutoTheAbridgedSeries.
* FreudianSlipperySlope: When Goku telepathicly reports on his fight with the Ginyu force to King Kai:
--> '''Goku:''' I ran into these really weird guys. The first one was big and muscly, but he went down real easy. Then these two guys double-teamed me. One of them took it really hard in the back, but the other didn't seem that interested, so he brought this really horny guy.\\
'''GeorgeTakei:''' [[MemeticMutation Oh my!]]\\
'''Goku:''' Who's that, King Kai?\\
'''King Kai:''' That's George Takei. Somehow he made this into a three-way.\\
'''George Takei: Oh my!'''\\
'''King Kai:''' '''Call!''' Three-way-''call''!
* FrothyMugsOfWater: Mercilessly parodied, with DBZ inspiring the Trope Name.
** "I'm drinking OJ! *Ding* Now it's apple juice. *Ding* Now it's beer. YAY BEER!"
*** And later... "Now it's a Nestlé Crunch bar! Now it's a gummi bear! Now it's Nappa!"
---->'''Nappa:''' "Wait, what the hell?"
* FunWithAcronyms: According to Krillin, Freeza is a F.A.G., a Freaky Alien Genotype.
** [[CallBack Vegeta calls Zarbon a Freaky Alien Genotype in episode 17]].
** ''Episode of Bardock Abridged'' has the '''S'''uper '''P'''olymorphic '''U'''nleashing '''G'''el, or "SPUG" (Pronounced "spooge").
** In ''Christmas Tree of Might'', [=S.N.O.W. Man=], AKA '''S'''entient '''N'''on-'''O'''rganic '''W'''ork '''Man'''ager.
* FurAndLoathing: Spoofed. Princess Snake says, "I love this fur coat. Especially since I killed all the animals myself."
* FurryFandom: Brief joke in the first FAQ Special when Nappa mentions editor/writer Kaiser Neko.
-->'''Nappa:''' Well, it's edited by the TIGER KITTY!\\
'''Vegeta:''' Kaiser Neko, Nappa.\\
'''Nappa:''' Kaiser-cat!\\
'''Vegeta:''' Neko...\\
'''Nappa:''' Meow! *materializes cat ears on his head*\\
'''Vegeta:''' Oh, Goddamn it, Nappa!

-->'''Vegeta''': Every fiber of my being wants to puke at once when I say this, but I need your hahh... I need your hahhaahhah...\\
'''Gohan''': You need our help?\\
'''Vegeta''': That, yes.
* GagPenis: Recoome, allegedly.
-->'''Burter:''' I've got his right leg.
-->'''Jeice:''' I've got his left.
-->'''Guldo:''' [[DoubleEntendre I've got his middle.]]
* GeniusDitz: Nappa. Come on, the guy at least graduated from Saiyan University with a degree in Child Psychology.
** With a [[MinoredInAssKicking minor in pain!]]
* GenreSavvy:
** In Lorg Slug Abridged, Piccolo is busy beating up some mooks when the QuirkyMinibossSquad make their entrance:
--->'''Piccolo:''' "All right, what's your gimmick?"\\
'''[[TheBrute Dorodabo]]:''' "Gimmick?"\\
'''Piccolo:''' "Yeah, like the last guys, they were all [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits misfit minions]] and crap. What are you?"\\
'''[[LongHairedPrettyBoy Angira]]:''' "We're just here for your planet... though if I had to choose, I'd say I'm the pretty one."\\
'''Piccolo:''' "Eh, six out of ten."\\
'''Angira:''' "You sassy bitch."\\
'''Piccolo:''' (to Medamatcha) "That makes you the weird one with the freaky power..."\\
'''[[DepravedDwarf Medamatcha]]:''' "I CAN SPAWN [[DopplegangerAttack MINI-MES]]!"\\
'''Piccolo:''' "[[SarcasmMode Spectacular]]. (turns to Dorodabo) And that would make you, no doubt, the [[DumbMuscle big, tough, stupid one]]."\\
'''Dorodabo:''' "You take that back or I'll kill you!"\\
'''Piccolo:''' "All right, all right, [[StealthInsult you're not tough]]."\\
'''Dorodabo:''' "That's better!"\\
'''Gohan:''' "Wait, didn't you...?"\\
'''Piccolo:''' "Give him a minute."\\
'''Dorodabo:''' "...[[LateToThePunchline Hey!]]"
** It happens again in Revenge of Cooler Abridged when Piccolo encounters another stock mook trio (only this time they get it mixed up who's supposed to be the pretty one, the stupid one, and the one with weird powers.)
*** Sauza fries the bag of senzu beans with an energy blast after seeing Gohan risking life and limb to deliver them.
*** Cooler himself assmues his enemies are alive [[NeverFoundTheBody until he sees their dead bodies]] and even orders his men to search the area.
** Characters reading the OncePerEpisode disclaimer have a tendency to be badly hurt or die. When Yamcha has to read the disclaimer two episodes in a row, he gets rather nervous.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: When Vegeta is freaking out about the Ginyu Force Guru tells Nail to slap him. And Nail slaps Krillin. Still seems to snap Vegeta out of it.
* GiantEnemyCrab:
-->'''Bulma:''' "I FOUGHT A GIANT CRAB!"\\
'''Krillin:''' "...They make a special shampoo for that, I hear--OW!"
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YvIFTgSD5U KILLING CRAAAAAABS! IN THE OCEAN!]]
* GiftOfTheMagiPlot: "Christmas Tree of Might" has Yamcha receive a lifetime supply of gasoline at the end, ''after'' the car he spent his life savings on was destroyed.
* GilliganCut:
** When Goku asks where Bulma is, he figures she's just doing her hair or something. Cut to:
--->'''[[GiantEnemyCrab Killing crabs!]] In the ocean! Kill it fast! Pain explosion! Yeah!'''
** At the start of episode twenty-seven, Goku reflects that he's sure everybody is just fine. Cut to:
--->'''Vegeta:''' "Healer's down!"
--->'''Krillin:''' "Need a rez!"
--->'''Gohan:''' "Out of mana!"
--->'''Vegeta starts screaming and they all follow suit.'''
*** The worst of it is they are in front of Freeza's perfect form.
** And when the Ginyu's insult King Kai
--->'''King Kai:''' Yeah, all of you can just [[ExactWords go straight to hell]].
--->'''Recoom:''' Oh yeah? And who's gonna make [[ThirdPersonPerson Recoome]]?
--->[Cut to a distant punch sound, followed by all four Ginyu's crash-landing into hell]
* GivingUpOnLogic: In ''Christmas Tree of Might'', Goku starts trying to talk to the titular tree to get it to leave Earth. Yamcha tries to explain that trees can't talk only to be cut off by Slay's voice which appears to answer for the tree since Slay is offscreen. Yamcha gives up in exasperation. The whole exchange is the page quote.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Vegeta. [[OnlySaneMan Poor, poor Vegeta.]]
* GoldenSnitch: Freeza's 'scavenger hunt':
--->'''Freeza:''' Normal human heads are worth one point. Namekian heads are worth twenty. Filthy half-Saiyan brats, fifty. And if you find any miserable, odious, insubordinate, full-blooded monkey garbage...you win.
* GoryDiscretionShot: [[spoiler: Guru's death of being eaten alive by the Namekians who were infuriated that he had them slaughter thousands of innocent Albino Namekians during the Great Drought. Bulma, Gohan, and Piccolo are absolutely horrified by the brutality, and even [[CardCarryingVillain Vegeta]] looks a little appalled.]]
* GoshDangItToHeck: Vegeta's monologue at the end of episode 19.
-->"Son of a gum-chewing funk moster! Why the fruit does all this funny stuff happen to me? For-get my life! Always surrounded by miserable ''failing'' clods. Like this whole world just likes to bend me over, [[TheBigLebowski AND FIND ME IN THE ALPS!]] Like I'm some sort of schlock receptacle. Well, as far as I care, these miserable cows can have a fancy barbecue, [[SubvertedTrope WITH A GODDAMNED PIG]]!!"
** Goku also delivers one of these as a PreMortemOneLiner in Christmas Tree of Might and Lord Slug Abridged, the latter's line referencing this this trope's use in the official dub.
* GratuitousJapanese:
** The title of episode 19, plus the Ginyu Force theme. It's meant as a parody of the {{sentai}} shows that inspired the Ginyu Force, though the episode title itself comes off as a bit wonky if you speak Japanese.[[note]]It's given as "到着を恐怖!! ギニュー特戦隊は、敬礼!!" ("Fear the arrival!! As for the Ginyu Force, [they] salute!!"), when what's probably meant is "恐怖の到着!ギニュー特戦隊、敬礼!" ("Dreaded arrival! Ginyu Force, salute!")[[/note]]
** In episode 25:
--->'''Freeza:''' (after killing King Vegeta, without the usual exuberance associated with the phrase) "Yatta." ("I did it", in a victorious sense) [[note]]This is also a Street Fighter reference to Chun Li's "Win quote," seeing as Freeza just killed King Vegeta with a Shoryuken and got the Street Fighter audio of "K.O.! You win!" [[/note]]
** Botched by Piccolo when he tried to say his attack's Japanese name, finally he just decides to go with Special Beam Cannon.
* GravityIsAHarshMistress: Vegeta ask to Dr. Briefs for a ship with an artificial gravity of 400 times earth's gravity. {{Lampshaded}} by him and Bulma how insane the request is.
--->'''Bulma:''' How exactly you gonna work when your body collapses?\\
'''Vegeta:''' Please, [[TemptingFate the prince of all Saiyans does not colla-]] ('' collapses'')\\
'''Bulma:''' Oh look, the prince of all ''two Saiyans'' on the ground!
* GroinAttack: Krillin is consistently worried about the harm Chi-Chi will inflict on his genitals, first for Goku's death and Piccolo taking Gohan, then later for any harm that might befall Gohan.
-->'''Krillin:''' I like my penis where it is.
** Happens to Vegeta in episode 10.
-->'''Vegeta:''' [kicking Goku] You still haven't hurt my pride! [Gohan attacks Vegeta] Ow, my pride!
** Freeza does this to Goku in episode 30.
-->'''Goku:''' Ow, my [[ForeShadowing Gotens]]!

[[folder:H]]
* HandsOffParenting: When Gohan tells Goku to hang Freeza by his entrails, Goku realizes something is up with his son... and thinks ''Piccolo'' should sit him down and have a talk with him.
* HandWave: Spoofed in the Bardock special episode. How does Chilled know about the healing spooge of the Saiyans?
-->'''Chilled:''' Because of reasons! [{{Beat}}] Reasons is my intel-guy.
* HappyDance: In addition to Anime/DragonBallZ's Dance of Joy (which he is contractually obligated to perform by King Cold), Ginyu also does the "Daddy's Little Princess Dance" (commanded by [[SiblingRivalry Cooler]]) the "Dance of Cheering You Up", and the "Dance of Solitude".
* HarmlessVillain: Garlic Jr. [[spoiler:He's actually set up to be a pretty serious threat, he just has the incredible misfortune of [[AlwaysABiggerFish running afoul of Mr. Popo]] straight out of the gate]].
* HeadDesk: Done in episode 21 when Nail, tired of Guru's orders, goes outside for twenty minutes and does this.
* [[TheVillainSucksSong The Hero Sucks Song]]: ''Yamcha the Scarfaced Bandit.''.
* HeelFaceTurn: Subverted: [[spoiler: Freeza, when he asks for and receives energy from Goku, he actually contemplates the second chance he has been given and considers changing his ways for a second...then decides against it.]]
* HeroicRROD: After his rage-induced scream in Episode 18, when Vegeta is next seen his eyes are bloodshot and he is driven insane, talking in HulkSpeak and hallucinating Ghost Nappa. He later proceeds to ''[[TearsOfBlood pop the blood vessels in his eyes]]'' right as he is about to utterly erase Krillin from existence, but he instantly recovers upon sensing Gohan's power level and has no recollection of what just happened.
** His eyes bleeding looks similar to his [[CallBack nosebleed]] in Episode 9.
* HesitationEqualsDishonesty: On the part of the Narrator, after Goku becomes a Super Saiyan for the first time.
--> '''King Kai''' At last, Goku... has become... the ONE...and ONLY... SUPER SAIYAN! [[{{Beat}} *pause*]] Right?
--> '''Narrator''' Um...yeah.
--> '''King Kai''' You hesitated there for a second...what?
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Lampshaded with Tenshinhan and Chaotzu. Subverted with Yamcha and Pu'er.
-->'''Tenshinhan:''' Chiaotzu! My partner!\\
'''Yamcha:''' Gay.\\
'''Tenshinhan:''' Hey! At least I don't spend all ''my'' free time living alone with a cat!\\
'''Yamcha:''' Hey! At least ''I'' get some puss-- ...wow, [[ThatCameOutWrong that did not come out right]].
** Arguably, Vegeta and Nappa.
** After Chaiaotzu's SenselessSacrifice:
--->'''Tenshinhan:''' Krillin! He was my closest friend... I... I loved him.\\
'''Krillin:''' As a memorial to Yamcha... Gay.
** Burter & Jeice.
*** In Episode 19, [[spoiler:Guldo says that Burter is gay]].
%% HeyItsThatVoice belongs on the Trivia tab. Put any examples there.
* HilariousOuttakes: Good luck getting through [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C3urEpOYbw this video]] without laughing at least once.
* HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure: Vegeta and Nappa measure themselves and the heroes' power levels in 'Raditz'(who had a power level of 1200).
** Ginyu had a standing bet with Burter over whether or not Guldo would die, with the wager being "50 Raditz". It MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext.
*** Presumably, he was betting 60000 of something. Of what, of course, we don't actually know.[[RecycledInSpace Space Dollars]], maybe?
** The ad for "Spacey's" promotes the chain's Raditz Menu, made up of items that cost only a Raditz. Whatever it means as a currency, it's evidently not very much. Oh, Raditz.
** The Raditz currency is referenced again in Episode 28: "New Game 1/2 Raditz"
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Krillin, in the [[spoiler: FAKE]] Namek episode. Bonus because the [[spoiler: FAKE]] Namekians are inspired by the Plutonians from ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''.
** Councillor Nappa believes that Freeza can be dealt with by looking him dead in the eye and saying "Don't blow up my planet".
--->'''King Vegeta:''' And you think that'll work?\\
'''Nappa:''' He'd have to be ''awfully'' evil if it didn't. And I'm not gonna lie... I like the cut of his jib!
* HoYay:[[invoked]] Nappa found the (male) [[Manga/DeathNote L]] cosplayer hot in the AWA special.
* HoldingBackThePhlebotinum:
** Used to explain why Mr. Popo was absent during the battle with Vegeta.
--->'''Goku:''' Mr. Popo! I need your carpet to get to my friends as quickly as possible!\\
'''Mr. Popo:''' ''[from inside Kami's house]'' Makin' toast!
** Happens in the original too, but made much funnier here.
--->'''Vegeta:''' You... Green thing... Heal me...\\
'''Dende:''' Oh, I'm sorry, I'm having trouble hearing you over [[KickTheDog the smell of my people's blood on your hands.]]
* HopeSpot:
--> '''Gohan:''' Piccolo's actually standing up to him (Freeze), Krillin!\\
'''Krillin:''' I don't believe it! We may actually win!\\
'''Vegeta:''' [[GenreSavvy Yeah, that's just]]... great... if you'll excuse me though, I gotta... bye!
* HotMom: Mrs. Briefs, who insists that you refer to her the same way everyone else does- as [[spoiler:"[=MILF=]"]]. Granted, she doesn't know what that means...
* HowWouldYouLikeToDie: Freeza's closing line in Episode 24:
-->'''Vegeta:''' Don't you understand? If I didn't get my wish, then I'm not immortal, and Freeza is going to... going to... ''(stammers upon seeing Freeza)''\\
'''Freeza:''' Oh don't mind me, by all means...'''''[[AC:Give me some ideas.]]'''''
* HulkSpeak: An enraged Gohan starts speaking this while beating on Freeza for stabbing Krillin.
** And yet he still has shades of SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.
--->'''Gohan:''' Gohan smash effeminate alien! Gohan strongest there is!
* HumanoidAbomination: Mr. Popo.
* HumiliationConga: Vegeta. After having his tail cut off, being blasted by a Spirit Bomb, getting crushed by a naked child, and almost killed by '''[[OvershadowedByAwesome Krillin]]''' of all people, he escapes to his pod, only to be greeted by... '''GHOST NAPPA!'''
-->Vegeta: "Crushed and broken beneath a naked unconscious child...yep, I think I'm done here."
** Yamcha is subjected to one in episode 35: [[spoiler:having to deal with Bulma having Vegeta's child, hearing his "cat loves food" song from Yajirobe's car (he did it for money and it wasn't worth it to him), getting attacked and nearly killed by the Androids (with a truck showing up playing his song no less), to Krillin's bad puns.]]
* HurlItIntoTheSun: How Cooler goes out.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Goku in Episode 30, part 3, unleashes a slew of puns based around Freeza slicing himself in half. It gets to the point that you can't tell if he's groaning because of the injury or the jokes.
* HypocriticalHumor:
** Guru calls Kami a pretentious prick for calling himself God [[labelnote:*]]"Kami" in Japanese is translated to "God"[[/labelnote]]. Immediately after that, Guru tells Nail to call him Super Kami Guru.
--->'''Nail:''' Can't I just call you Guru for short?\\
'''Guru:''' Super Kami Guru allows this.
** In the ChristmasSpecial:
--->'''Tien:''' (after he is revealed to be Jewish) I'm just trying to be culturally sensitive... you Buddhist ass!\\
'''Krillin:''' (a little offended) Well, happy holidays to you, too.
** Vegeta displayed this when attacked for the second time by Yajirobe.
--->'''Vegeta:''' You... you cut through my armor! This was a gift from my father!\\
'''Yajirobe:''' I'm sorry, I'm sure your father was a great man.\\
'''Vegeta:''' I ''hated'' my father!\\
'''Yajirobe:''' Oh, well then I'm sure he was a total prick.\\
'''Vegeta:''' ''[attacks Yajirobe]''' ''How dare you talk about my father like that!''
[[/folder]]

[[folder:I]]
* [[IAmNotWeasel I Am Not A Pokémon]]:
-->'''Nappa:''' Vegeta! Look! A Pokémon.\\
'''Chaotzu:''' I'm not a Pokémon, I'm Chaotzu! Chaotzu!\\
'''Nappa:''' Hear that, Vegeta? It's a Chaotzu! (''generates [=PokéBall=] from his hand'') I'm gonna catch it!\\
'''Chaotzu:''' I told you, I'm not a-\\
(''Throws [=PokéBall=] at Chaotzu'')\\
'''Chaotzu:''' Ow!\\
'''Nappa:''' Aww! It didn't work, Vegeta!\\
'''Vegeta:''' That's because you have to damage it first.\\
'''Nappa:''' Alright! I'll see if I can get a critical.
* {{If I Wanted X I Would Y}}: If Vegeta wanted to watch [[{{Naruto}} over a hundred episodes of filler]], he'd watch InuYasha.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Subverts the original Funimation dub of Vegeta's dying words to Goku, where he suggested that Freeza was responsible for what he became, and pretty much ignored that after being revived; in [=DBZA=], ''Goku'' attempts to suggest that Freeza made Vegeta evil, but Vegeta insists that he'd definitely be evil if Freeza hadn't been there.
** Played straight with Freeza in the final part of episode 30, when, after being thoroughly defeated, he ponders if he should turn over a new leaf. Of course, he decides "Naaaaaaaah!" and tries to blast Goku one more time. [[{{Understatement}} It doesn't end well.]]
* ImAHumanitarian:
-->'''[[BigEater Yajirobe]]:''' You gonna eat that Saiyan?\\
'''Krillin:''' What?\\
'''Yajirobe:''' Dibs.
** And in the second blooper special, along with trying to eat Tien's arm:
--->'''Krillin:''' Yajirobe, what were you doing here to begin with, anyways?\\
'''Yajirobe:''' Well, I thought I smelled something cooking, but then it just turned out to be Yamcha's body.\\
'''Krillin:''' ...Wait, you didn-\\
'''Yajirobe:''' ''Almost''.
** One of Bardock's teammates asks an unconscious Bardock for permission to eat a dead alien.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Burter's reason for claiming to be the fastest in the universe.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: [[spoiler: Bulma has this when she and Vegeta have sex in episode 34. Come to think of it, Vegeta ALSO has this, and has one so hard he blows a hole in the wall (with the Gallick Gun).]]
** [[spoiler: ''[[IncrediblyLamePun Phallic gun]]'' anyone?]]
* ImmuneToBullets: Used to hilarious effect in the cold open to episode 12.
* IncendiaryExponent:
-->'''Vegeta:''' *Upon sensing Gohan's power level on Namek* Hey! Show yourself before I turn this place into a barren wasteland. So basically the same, only on fire.
* INeedToGoIronMyDog: After learning that Zarbon is actually [[spoiler: straight]] Freeza kills a random henchman as an excuse to leave so he doesn't have to admit that [[spoiler: he thought Zarbon was gay]].
--> Oh no, that minion died. Could you go fix that? We'll continue this conversation never.
* InelegantBlubbering: Vegeta finally snaps in Episode 27 when he completely fails to do anything to Freeza.
-->'''Freeza:''' See? It's like I told you, Vegeta - ''like a bitch.''
-->'''Vegeta:''' ''[voice cracking]'' SHUTTUP!
-->'''Freeza:''' Oh my god, You actually ''are'' crying!
-->'''Vegeta:''' ''[hoarsely]'' 'M NOT CRYING! 'M NOOOT!
* InfallibleNarrator: Lampshaded when the narrator tries to get in on King Kai's betting pool over Vegeta and Goku's battle.
-->'''King Kai:''' Don't you already know the outcome of the fight?\\
'''Narrator:''' [[BlatantLies ...No...]]
* InformedAbility: Jeice eventually calls out Burter on his claim of being "the fastest in the universe." Especially since Guldo can stop time.
** [[BerserkButton NO! NO! NO! I AM NOT SLOWER THAN &^%$ING GULDO!]]
* InherentlyFunnyWords: Mahogany
** Raditz.
* InnerMonologue: Freeza has a Casual Danger Inner one in episode 27. It starts with him hating how many of his men had died on this mission and ending with him thinking on what to send to the Ginyu force families such as a nice wine, a gift basket, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs or maybe a gift basket with wine in it.]]
* InnocentInnuendo: From episode 17:
-->'''Freeza:''' Zarbon really screwed the pooch on this one!\\
'''Zarbon:''' Lord Freeza, Vegeta's really giving us a pounding!\\
'''Freeza:''' I'm coming Zarbon! Quick, grab my balls!\\
'''Ginyu Force:''' ''(laughter)''
** Krillin and especially Super Kami Guru to Gohan. Since Guru's happened after the AcceptableTargets quote above, it's not clear exactly how innocent it is.
** And [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_07jssnBSIw#t=608s this moment]] from episode 31:
---> '''Chi-Chi''': Alright, I demand to know who's been spreading rumours that I've been forcing Gohan to, and I quote, "POUND MY TUNA"!
---> '''Krillin''': Look Chi-Chi, if it upsets you that much, we'll ALL take turns pounding your tuna okay? But, only if we get to eat it together.
---> '''Roshi''': (Hysterical laughter in the background)
* InsideJoke: "DO AS I SAY FOR I AM THE HEAVENLY BUDDHA!!!"
** [[DontExplainTheJoke Keep in mind, Krillin was noted as a former Shaolin monk-in-training before seeking Master Roshi's training]].
* InsistentTerminology: According to Dr. Brief, cappucino isn't coffee.
** Guru is to be addressed as Super Kami Guru... except by Nail, who is allowed to call him Guru for short.
* InsuranceFraud: Krillin manages to get a huge amount of money by taking out a life insurance policy on ''[[GenreSavvy himself]]'' before going to Namek (he even got triple payout for dying while off-planet), then pretending to be his own BackupTwin named Juan [[DeathIsCheap when he's brought back to life.]] [[spoiler:Too bad the government was on to him.]]
* IronicEcho: Piccolo telling Gohan to "''Dooodge!''", as mentioned above
** "I'm back." *''BAM''*
*** "Ooooh, I see what you did there..."
** And this exchange:
--->'''Freeza:''' "So, did you eliminate everyone on the planet?\\
'''Dodoria:''' "Complete Annihilation."\\
'''Zarbon:''' "...Where are all your men?"\\
'''Dodoria:''' "Complete Annihilation."\\
'''Zarbon:''' (later, as Bardock's pod surpasses Freeza's ship) "[[SarcasmMode So, "Complete Annihilation", huh]]?"\\
** In the same special, Freeza debates giving his brother Cooler a call because it's Cooler's birthday, but decides against it because he's a prick. At the end of the special, Goku's pod is detected by Cooler's ship. He orders his men not to fire on it. When asked why he replies "Because I'm a prick."
** "My mother's dead." "I know."
** Goku and Piccolo's dialogue in Episode 29 when Goku needs to finish up the Spirit Bomb is a slight variation of a similar scene in Episode 2, complete with "Mahnah Mahnah" song. Piccolo even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it given the role reversal ("Did you just hold a grudge?")
** Unintentionally done by Goku. He spams the Kidney Punch tactic on Freeza much like how Freeza did to Vegeta.
* {{Irony}}: Bardock averts it.
-->(About to be killed by Freeza's death-ball)\\
Well, I'd say 'I should have seen this coming,' but that would be ironic.[[note]]Bardock is clairvoyant, and literally did see it coming.[[/note]]
* IsItSomethingYouEat?
-->'''Piccolo:''' I'm not a Goddamn Yoshi!\\
'''Goku:''' [[DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm But you said you were]].\\
'''Piccolo:''' It's called ''sarcasm''.\\
'''Goku:''' What's that taste like?\\
'''Piccolo:''' Dammit, Goku!
* IsThisThingOn:
--> '''[[spoiler: Ghost Nappa]]:''' ''*tap tap*'' "Is this thing on? Is it on? Okay there we go! ''*clears his throat*'' YOU ARE NOW THINKING ABOUT WHAT ZARBON DID TO YOU, WHILE YOU WERE UNCONSCIOUS. Have fun with that."
* [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY It's Pronounced "kah-ee-oh"]]: King Kai berates Yamcha for saying "Kaiou Ken" with the original (as in no longer used) US pronounciation of "kay-oh."
* ItWasHisSled: In-universe example - Vegeta already knew that [[spoiler:Freeza blew up his home planet.]] Freeza really needs to stay off the (Space)Twitter.
** Also, from episode 18, the fact that [[spoiler:[[LateArrivalSpoiler Vegeta is Trunks' father]]]].
** [[spoiler: Thanks to a conversation with Guldo, Vegeta already knows Freeza can transform.]]

[[folder:J]]
* JackassGenie: Shenron, in the ''Christmas'' Tree of Might abridged
-->'''Shenron:''' Yeah.. yeah ok. I'll give you your tree. I'll give you the best damn tree you've ever seen! [[EvilLaugh WAHAHAHA-AHAHAHA!]]\\
'''Krillin:''' Thank you!\\
'''Shenron:''' [[DramaticIrony Oh, don't thank me. 'Tis the season of giving.]]
** Justified in the RunningGag that Shenron is ''really'' tired with people asking for simple wishes, primarily by the heroes again and again and again.
** Though he tones it down in front of the actual Genie who doesn't grant wishes but certainly has the Jackass part down.
--->'''Shenron:''' I am the eternal dragon. Speak your wish and I shall... Oh, it's you my master. [[ApocalypseHow Is it time to lay waste to this world]]?
--->'''Popo:''' Eh, not yet. Give em a couple hundred years. See if they can clean the place up.
* JacobMarleyApparel: Many of the dead seem to follow this, except for Vegeta. But that's because Yemma told him he couldn't take his clothes with him. Vegeta was not amused when he learned Goku kept his clothes.
** Played with in that Goku mentions he got to keep clothes he WASN'T wearing at the time.
* JawDrop: Krillian gives a rather over the top one when [[spoiler: Maron reveals she's actually a government agent and has evidence of him committing insurance fraud.]]
* JerkAss: Piccolo. One example includes deliberately telling Gohan to let Tenshinhan fight Nappa alone to avenge Chaotzu, despite Ten's constant desperate pleas for help.
** Another example:
--->'''Gohan:''' Where's my daddy?\\
'''Piccolo:''' I hate to tell you kid but your dad's dead. Actually, no, I love saying that. HAHAHA your dad's dead!\\
'''Gohan:''' (cries)\\
'''Piccolo:''' Aw, dammit. This is why I hang out in the wastelands.
** Cooler [[RunningGag is a prick]].
** Guru and Popo to the point that even ''Freeza'' seems nicer
--->'''Super Kami Guru''' I feel they've finally summoned the dragon... it would be a real dick move to die right now...''hurk''.
*** Also:
--->'''Popo''' (after having explained his pecking order) Any questions?
--->'''Krillin''' Yeah, how...(gets kicked off the lookout, adding another tally to his "owned" count)
--->'''Popo''' Enjoy the climb back up, bitch! (to Tien, Yamcha, and Chaotzu) Any more questions?
** Dende is becoming one of these. His hatred for Krillin is so intense he gives up the location to Earth as payback for being called "Little Green". And when Krillin is stabbed by Freeza, Dende revives him, but also tells him he's immortal, probably in the hopes he'll get himself KilledOffForReal. The only person he respects is Gohan.
** Dr. Briefs seems to treat his wife poorly and called [[spoiler: Dende]] a [[CurseCutShort fag]].
* JumpingTheShark: In-Universe. Upon learning that he has been sent back into the past, Bardock declares it "shark jumping bullshit".
* JustAStupidAccent:
** Jeice's Australian accent from the Ocean dub is [[CharacterExaggeration exaggerated to the point he spits out Australian slang every chance he gets.]]
---> '''Krillin:''' We get it! You're from Space Australia!
*** The phrase "Good Night Irene" is a reference to Australian MMA commentator Mike "The Voice" Schiavello, who is referencing wrestling commentator Gorilla Monsoon, who said it when wrestler Adrian Adonis performed a sleeper hold.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Vegeta tells Cui how he got his ass kicked by Goku & Co., after explaining the Saiyans' ability to gain power from being beaten to near-death. Cui still thinks their PowerLevels are the same (18,000), and doesn't get it.
-->'''Cui:''' "Why are you telling me this?! You'd never tell anyone this!"\\
'''Vegeta:''' "Easy - [[PreMortemOneLiner because I know you'll never tell anybody, Cui]]."\\
'''Cui:''' "But, but I hate you! Why would I--"\\
